substitute person

1. A person who is the replacement for a significant other, relative, or friend that isn't around anymore.

2. Derived from a quote by Claire from Elizabethtown.
"You and I have a special talent," Claire says to Drew. "And I saw it immediately. We're the substitute people. I've been the substitute person my whole life. I'm not an Ellen a co-worker Drew was into. I never wanted to be an Ellen. And I'm not a Cindy either…I like being alone too much. I mean, I'm with a guy who is married to his academic career. I rarely see him and I'm the substitute person there. I like it that way. It's a lot less pressure."

"Since Anne just broke up with Joe, Emily is Joe's substitute person."

Personal Chart

A chart (i.e. a list), generally music-based, determined by ones personal taste.

Commonly personal singles charts are a list of what one person's current favourite music is, and is compiled by themselves. The chart will typically change every week, like national charts, the positions moving such that some older songs make way for newer songs. Typically a single may climb the chart to its peak position then move downward until it drops out but patterns may differ.
Oxymoron by 11:59 is currently number one on the NM personal chart.

Personal Media

Why buy a new radio when you can listen to music you want on your ipod or on internet radio? This new internet radio - where you can list to specifically what you want - is personal media.

Car personality

Mechanical or structural characteristics that the vehicle has developed over the years, and that only the owner or the vehicles drivers are aware off.
My car has a lot of car personality, the battery terminals come off while driving so these need to be reconnected each time you start, the radio only tunes to 88.5 so set the iTrip up on that station, To open the glove box turn the latch the other way because of reasons I don't know why but it works, when changing gear from 1 to 2 run the stick hard along the left edge to avoid it grinding.....you get the idea....car personality.....you car has it somewhere.

personality install

personality install:

- the desired (but presently impossible) procedure of installing a personality into a person who appears to have none

Background: Many 'non-contributting-zeros' and 'useless-eaters' would do better for themselves and society if they had dynamic and well functioning personalities, or just died. The percentage of the population which could use this procedure seems to be growing. The end game for the Zombie Apocalypse is to have robotic mindless people --- perhaps this fictitious concept of 'personality installs' might be able to thwart what seems to be coming.
Ex.1
Jim: Is it just me, or does that guy seem like a zombie to you too?
Bob: Oh yeah! That empty-vessel is a useless-eater who could use a 'personality install'.

Ex.2
Jim: I think Jane could do with a 'personality transplant'.
Bob: Jane would have to have one, first. What that non-contributing-zero needs is a 'personality install'.
